That's why I will only support breeders that breed for the right reasons - to breed to the breed standard and continually improve the breed.
If someone wants a mix, why not adopt one? I don't think breeding just because people will buy is the right reason for breeding...that's doing it for money. Not a good reason to breed. |
Could you please define the word breeder to me then? Can you only use the term breeder only when referring to purebred breeding? The dictionary reads," a person who breeds animals. To breed is to reproduce by controlled mating and/ or to develop certain characteristics by such mating." But your definition is beyond that. Or is your standard really for breeding show dogs? I think to breed some Morkies or poodle mixes won't stop all the wonderful little yorkies that we all love from still being lovingly and perfectly bred. I also don't think that the Morkies and poodle mixes purchased from responsible breeders are the dogs being euthanized.
